Question

Hey guys I have a hard time with these questions. Can someone explain it to me? :)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

there are a couple ways to find slope

1. Rise over Run Method:

for this method, you use basic counting

to do this, you count the number of x spaces it takes the line to get from one y space to the next

for your line, the run is 3 because it takes 3 x spaces to get from one whole number to the next on the y spaces

you would say the rise is -1 because the line is going down, and it takes 3 x spaces to get the next pot that is on a y-axis increment

so we know the rise is -1 and the run is 3

if you put this into rise/run format, you get 1/-3

so -1/3 is you slope

2. Using the Coordinates

in this line, you see two points

the points are 1. (-1, -1), and 2. (2, -2)

using the coordinates means that you use a formula: $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

the y2 is the y value of the second coordinate (-2), the y1 is the y value of the first coordinate (-1)

the x2 is the x value of the second coordinate (2), the x1 is the x value of the  first coordinate (-1)

if you plug these it you get: -2 - (-1) / 2 - (-1)

this can be simplified to -2 + 1 / 2 + 1

and simplified again to -1/3

Qhat ever method you use, you should get the same answer. Using both methods is a good way to check your work.

Answer 2

The slope would be 0

This is basically how you do it if you need more help let me know
